Definitions

  • the present invention relates to an emergency exit window of a vehicle with a window pane and a window frame profile, whereas the window frame profile is retained by the window bay in the wall of the vehicle, whereas the window frame profile is provided with a recess for the location of the window pane, the window frame profile being provided with an opening that is located at some distance of the front side of the window pane and that is intended to detachably receive a first expansion member, a second expansion member being arranged opposite the first expansion member in the window frame profile.
  • An example of an emergency exit window is FR 26 84 051.
  • a window frame profile with a very complicated shape is borne in a part constituting a sealing lip, whereas this part may be tilted outwards for taking off the window pane.
  • a disadvantage thereof is the considerable strength that is necessary to tilt this part of the window frame profile outwards, since the corresponding part of the window frame profile is describing a movement having the shape of a circular arc during the tilting procedure. At the summit of this movement describing a circular arc, the window pane is pressed against the opposite seal.
  • the window frame profile has a groove receiving the window pane, whereas expansion members are provided on both sides of the window frame profile in the window frame profile and are borne in a channel-like opening.
  • levers are provided for taking out the window pane These levers are gripping under the sealing lips of the window frame profile. By tearing off the lips underneath the expansion members, said expansion members fall off. Now the pane may be taken out of the window frame profile.
  • the chain molecules of the window frame profile rubber are not uniformly aligned; it is thus very unlikely that the lips may be torn off in a clean way.
  • the object of the present invention is therefore to provide an emergency exit window of the type mentioned above that is easy to handle, inexpensive to produce and whose window pane may, in case of an emergency, be taken out on both sides without promoting vandalism.
  • the solution of the invention is to provide the window bay of the vehicle with a hook-shaped bracing of the window frame profile, whereas the hook-shaped end of the bracing is engaged in the window frame profile and the hook-shaped end of the bracing is inserted in the window frame profile at some distance to the second expansion member in the vertical direction.
  • the one expansion member is more particularly removably or detachably inserted circumferentially into the channel-like opening arranged circumferentially in the window frame profile.
  • the second expansion member which is also detachably and thus removably inserted circumferentially into a channel-like opening arranged circumferentially in the window frame profile.
  • the window frame profile is losing some of its tension at the corresponding place, so that the window pane may be pushed out.
  • the window pane With reference to the first expansion member that is inserted in the window frame profile from the outside, the window pane itself is released.
  • the hook-shaped end of the bracing of the window frame profile is released by the window frame profile after the second expansion member has been removed. This entails that the window pane may be pushed out of the window bay of the vehicle together with the window frame profile.
  • the corresponding expansion member is advantageously provided with a handle-like element.
  • the handle-like element that is arranged on the first expansion member may be tilted in the sense that it may be swung out.
  • the corresponding expansion member may be pulled out of the channel-like opening more easily. That means that the handle-like element is, in the first place, lying flat on the window frame profile, so that normally the handle-like element is not offering any air resistance.
  • the handle-like element arranged on the second expansion member located inside has a handle placed under a lining so that it is covered.
  • At least the one handle-like element is secured by a locking, so that the improper use of the handle-like element may be excluded.
  • the locking is centrally unlocked. Only then the handle arranged on the first expansion member situated outside may be actuated. The handle of the expansion member situated inside is guarded from vandalism by the lining. Said lining has to be removed in case of an emergency.
  • the window pane has a slant fore-part. If a double glass pane is used, this double glass pane is at first designed step-by-step, getting a corresponding slant fore-part by means of a subsequent, triangular insertion.
  • a slant fore-part combines two advantages; the first is that it facilitates the taking out of the window pane, the second that, compared to a straight fore-part, the bearing surface is bigger, thus achieving a better sealing.
  • a rope-shaped traction element seizing the window pane is inserted in the recess of the window pane and connected to the one expansion member.
  • the rope is directly subjected to strain too, so that the window pane may be removed from the window frame profile by means of the rope.
  • the rope is connected, more particularly glued, to the triangular insertion.
  • the window frame profile has a slot through which the rope may be guided when the expansion member is taken out.
  • the advantage thereof is that, when the expansion member, which has a wedge-shaped section and is inserted circumferentially in the channel-like opening also circumferentially arranged in the window frame profile, is pulled out by a certain length of the channel-like opening, said expansion member is offering an excellent shoulder permitting to provide the strength necessary to remove the window pane out of the window frame profile as this was already shortly described above.
  • a “window with even profiles” may be provided.
  • a “window with even profiles” means a window without outer sealing lips. At least one circumferential sealing lip may nevertheless be arranged on the inner side, i.e. on the vehicle's inner side, on the window frame profile. That means that the window area of the window pane is essentially aligned with the window frame profile and the wall of the vehicle.
  • FIG. 1 shows a sectional side view of the emergency exit window
  • FIG. 2 shows a view along the line II/II of FIG. 1;
  • FIG. 3 shows a section along the line III/III of FIG. 1.
  • the window pane is designated with numeral 1, the window frame profile with numeral 10 and the coach body or wall with numeral 20.
  • the window pane 1 is designed as a double window pane whose fore-part (arrow 2) is slant. Since the window pane 1 itself cannot be cut diagonally, it is made step-by-step, the slant shape being achieved by inserting a wedge-shaped element 3 into the step.
  • the window frame profile 10 essentially consists of the rubber element 11 with the sealing lip 13 that is sitting close to the window pane 1 on the inner side of the vehicle.
  • the window frame profile 10 designed as a rubber element 11 is provided in the area of the sealing lip with a recess 14, the bottom of the recess 14 being slant according to the design of the fore-part of the window pane 1
  • the rope 16 is situated in the area of the bottom of recess 14. Said rope 16 seizes the fore-part of the window pane 1 and is connected with the expansion member 30.
  • the rope 16 is connected with the fore-part of the window pane 1 by glueing the rope 16 to the element 3, whose section is wedge-shaped or whose shape is triangular.
  • the expansion member 30 is inserted in the channel-like groove 17 of the window frame profile 10.
  • the expansion member 30 has the handle-like element 31, which is provided with a web 32 anchored in the expansion member 30 itself.
  • the web 32 is provided with a boring 33 into which a pin 50 is engaged.
  • Said pin 50 is a component part of a magnetic switch 51 for example and may be moved alongside the arrow 55 in order to release the handle-like element 31 when needed, i.e. in case of an accident.
  • the handle-like element 31, which is designed as a plate sitting in alignment with the window frame profile body, is taken from behind by the fingers and swivelled according to arrow 35.
  • This movement is also pulling the expansion member 30 out of the channel-like opening, As already explained above, the circumferential expansion member itself may then be seized and be pulled further out of the channel-like opening, the window pane is simultaneously pulled out of the recess by means of the traction element and the rope 16.
  • the rope 16 is hereby guided into a slot 19 arranged in the profile body, the slot 19 extends through the profile body until reaching the outside of it.
  • first expansion member 30 On the opposite side of the first expansion member 30, a, second expansion member 60 is arranged in a channel-like opening or groove 17a. Underneath this expansion member 60, the hook-shaped end of the hook-shaped bracing 120 seizes the window frame profile 10. This hook-shaped bracing 120 is arranged in the window bay of the coach body.
  • the expansion member 60 has, just as the expansion member 30, a handle-like element 61, that is sitting in alignement with the window frame profile 10.
  • the handle-like element 61 is connected with the expansion member 60 via a web 62 so that the expansion member 60 may be pulled out of the channel-like opening 17a when the handle-like element is pulled out in the direction indicated by the arrow 65.
  • the window pane 1 may be completely removed, together with the frame profile 10, from the surrounding wall of the coach body in direction of the arrow 100.
